Two years ago the RAF Squadronaires gave a concert at the Harvey. The evening was such a success that the Squadronaires asked if they could return to the Harvey in 2016 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of their old Harveian founder, Ronnie Aldrich. The Centenary Concert is on 23 April and tickets are now available from John Oliver tel: 01303 25140301303 251403 or e-mail johne.oliver22@gmail.com

Get some old friends together and make a reunion. The Old Harveians would particularly like to see those who joined the school 50 years ago in 1965 and 25 years ago in 1990. Good to see someone from my year on the list. Where are the rest of the 1969 group? I know that you are out there….

Also on 05 Dec. in the morning the Staff v School football. Spend the afternoon catching up on the changes around the harbour and Old High St before the Dinner in the evening.

ANNUAL DINNER

The Dinner has been a sell-out in the past two years! To avoid disappointment, please book early.

We hope for a particularly good attendance from those who joined or left the School 50 years ago in 1965 and 25 years ago in 1990

As usual a good number of current and former staff are expected. Regular attendees (tbc) include Nigel ‘Nat’ Thomas, Peter ‘Pat’ Thomas, John Edwards, Bill Wright, Simon Goodfellow, Geoff Cooke, Richard ‘Dick’ Young, John Herbert and more.

Boys at the The Harvey Grammar School celebrated another successful set of results this morning.

Kenneth Gainsford and Ethan Pyott lead the group with 12 GCSE’s each all at A* and A grades.

Head Teacher Scott Norman said: “A year of very hard work from our boys and staff has delivered another outstanding set of GCSE results.

“It’s also very pleasing that all 14 of our Y11 students who are from disadvantaged backgrounds and for whom we receive additional pupil premium funding performed extremely well and gained the 5A*-C including Maths and English benchmark.”

“Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the Library Appeal. Our target of buying 200 books has already been exceeded, and the School is currently looking to add to the list so that more books can be purchased. All books will have a commemorative sticker inserted in them to acknowledge the sponsor.

The books will make a significant difference to the Library and will be ordered over the summer holiday so that they arrive in good time for the start of the new School Year in September. The Appeal is still running for Old Harveians to contribute if they wish to.”

Further update from Phil 27 July – ‘I estimate we will end up being able to buy 350-400 books, which is a massive amount for the library’.
